Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Services

Find answers to common questions about tree care and hiring professional tree service companies in UK.

Do tree roots grow towards water?

While tree roots do grow towards moisture, it's not a simple case of them actively seeking out water sources. Roots grow in all directions, but they grow more rapidly and extensively in areas where they encounter favorable conditions, including moisture.
Roots have specialized cells called 'root hairs' that absorb water and nutrients from the soil. These root hairs are more abundant in moist soil, so roots naturally extend more in those areas. However, roots also need oxygen to survive, so they will not grow into waterlogged soil. The direction of root growth is influenced by a combination of factors, including moisture, oxygen availability, soil nutrients, and the tree's overall health.

Why do tree roots grow above ground?

Tree roots growing above ground, also known as surface roots, can be caused by:
  • Shallow Soil: In areas with thin or compacted soil, roots may not be able to penetrate deeply and instead grow near the surface.
  • Soil Compaction: Heavy foot traffic, construction activities, or vehicles can compact the soil, making it difficult for roots to grow downward.
  • Low Oxygen Levels: Roots need oxygen to survive, and in poorly drained or compacted soil, they may grow near the surface to access more oxygen.
  • Seeking Nutrients: Roots may grow towards areas with higher nutrient concentrations, which can be near the surface in some cases.
  • Tree Species: Some tree species are naturally prone to surface roots, such as maples, willows, and poplars.
  • Age: As trees age, their root systems expand, and some roots may naturally grow closer to the surface.
Surface roots can pose tripping hazards, damage sidewalks or driveways, and interfere with mowing. Addressing underlying issues like soil compaction or drainage can help prevent excessive surface root growth.

How deep do tree roots grow?

The depth of tree roots varies depending on factors such as:
  • Tree species: Some trees have deep taproots, while others have more shallow, spreading root systems.
  • Soil type: Roots tend to grow deeper in loose, well-drained soil and shallower in compacted or rocky soil.
  • Water availability: Roots will grow deeper in search of moisture in dry conditions.
In general, most tree roots are found within the top 3 feet of soil. However, some trees can have roots that extend much deeper, especially in favorable conditions. For example, oak trees can have taproots that go down 10 feet or more.

How much does it cost to remove a large tree?

Removing a large tree is a complex task that often requires specialized equipment and expertise. The cost can vary significantly based on factors like:
  • Tree Height and Diameter: Taller and wider trees require more time and equipment to remove safely.
  • Location and Accessibility: Trees located near structures, power lines, or in difficult-to-access areas will cost more to remove.
  • Condition of the Tree: Trees that are diseased, damaged, or have weak branches may require specialized techniques for safe removal, adding to the cost.
  • Stump Removal: If you want the stump removed as well, this will add to the overall cost.
  • Debris Removal and Cleanup: The cost of hauling away the tree debris and cleaning up the work area is usually included in the overall price.
  • Local Labor Costs: Tree removal rates can vary depending on the region and the availability of qualified arborists.
In UK, large tree removal typically costs between £500 and £2,000 or more. To get a more accurate estimate for your specific tree, request free quotes from reputable tree service companies on LocalTreeSurgeon.
